Will Antunes's Lecce win their first game (away) in the Serie A?

This weekend, the start of the Italian Serie A! Portugal defender Antunes signed with Lecce from AS Roma. At Roma he didn't play more than 10 games. I wish him better luck at Lecce under one of my favorite coaches, Beretta.

Carlos Queiroz already included Antunes in call-up list in August 20th's friendly Portigal 5-0Faroe Islands. Antunes played all 90 minutes as a left-back. Since January, that position belonged to Paolo Ferreira. Even though Scolari knew perfectly well that Ferreira is not a natural left-back but a right-back.

Lecce will play its first game away from home, in Northern Italy, Torino.

Here's Lecce in the table:
